The town of Bühl is celebrating 20 years of the direct marketing farmers' market. On the anniversary Saturday, 16 September, 66 exhibitors will transform parts of the Hauptstraße and Eisenbahnstraße from 9:00 to 16:00 into a gourmet mile with regional delicacies for shopping and tasting on site and a workshop for the future. Live farm animals, stilt walkers and anniversary offers will make the day a unique experience.
The 20-year history begins with the Green Weekends from 1997 to 1999 on Europaplatz. This was followed by the farmers„ market in the main street as part of the Europe-wide “Into the city without my car" day of action from 2001 to 2011. Since 2012, the farmers' market has been established as an independent event that is very popular and has a firm place in the city's events programme. Its unique selling point is the emphasis placed on regional and seasonal products from the exhibitors. In addition, information on mobility and energy is available to visitors free of charge.
Bühl celebrates throughout the year with events such as the film Tomorrow, a lecture on sustainable community catering, hands-on activities on the topic of nutrition for school classes and, now in autumn, cooking courses with selected farm shops, their products and farmers. Among them is the winner of the „Lecker aufs Land“ SWR 2016 cookery competition, Yvonne Zick.
